Romantic Water Town Tour｜Complete Guide for Couples to Explore Wuzhen West Scenic Zone

Rainy days are the best way to experience Wuzhen! Stroll hand in hand under an umbrella on the bluestone paths, admire the white walls and black tiles shrouded in misty rain—this is the true Jiangnan water town experience~

📍Wuzhen West Scenic Zone
Address: No. 18 Shifo South Road, Tongxiang City, Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province
Opening Hours: 09:00-22:00
Ticket Price: 150 RMB/person

💑 5 Must-Do Things for Couples:
1. Take a wooden boat ride at night on Xishi River, with lanterns reflecting on the water—super romantic
2. Visit the Muxin Art Museum for exhibitions and photos, full of artistic vibes
3. Check in at the Yue Lao Temple to pray for a red thread of fate, said to be very effective!
4. Find a waterside teahouse to drink chrysanthemum tea, our favorite is "Ting Yu Xuan"
5. Experience DIY blue calico printing at the dyeing workshop and make couple scarves

📸 Photo Tips:
- Bring a transparent umbrella on rainy days for stunning photos
- Recommended spots: Tongji Bridge, Water Market, Caomuben Color Dyeing Workshop
- Wearing Hanfu or light-colored clothes matches the ancient town atmosphere better

🎭 Wuzhen Theatre Festival Bonus:
The annual theatre festival held every October is a must-see! We ran into many celebrities and street pantomime performers. The immersive performances at the Water Theatre are unforgettable~ It’s recommended to book hotels or homestays 3 months in advance!

🍜 Food Recommendations:
- Scholar’s Lamb Noodles: No. 129 West Scenic Street
- Dingsheng Cake: Available at many shops inside the scenic area
- Radish Cake: Famous old brand near the Water Market

Tips:
1. It’s recommended to stay one night in a homestay inside the scenic area, which includes tickets and lets you enjoy Wuzhen without crowds in the early morning
2. Wear comfortable flat shoes, walking on bluestone paths for a long time can be tiring
3. You can buy a combined ticket (West Scenic + East Scenic = 190 RMB), but personally, West Scenic is more exquisite
